Deadspin will forever have my favorite writers and commentariat.

Fuck Jim Spanfeller and Paul Maidment.

Just want to add my voice to the chorus repeating here. Deadspin has pretty much been an always-open tab on my browser over the years specifically because of the voice this place has. I can go to hundreds of websites that will tell me the score and show me a video of who made the big play, but this place is the only…

Same.

Can I at least be ungreyed before the site shuts down?

Ahh! You’re still here! The funbag lives! Deadspin isn’t completely dead for at least one more day! Thank God.

You didn’t “tune in” to this article? And Deadspin is “great at sportscasting”? Are you aware this is a website, with written articles? Or are you just here to make sure there are a few comments that GMG can point to to say, “see, our audience really does want us to just stick to sports”? 

Whether this is the end or not, I will miss the pre-Spanf#$ker Deadspin. You all were my go-to source for sports and non-sports coverage. I remember during the Doug Ford and Teo scoops, I was checking Deadspin probably 20 times a day. I loved the Drew, Patrick, Barry, Tim, Will Gordon’s Drunk Spin, and the best…

So, no posts in 23 hours... did everyone get fired or what?

Spanfeller to Bezos, circa 1999: “Stick to books.”

This is a pretty intense wait, all things considered. 

One thing all three of these dogs have in common: Their shit is more valuable to the ongoing success of this planet than Jim Spanfeller.

Ive never read Deadspin because I dont care for sports but this content really interests me. 

If this is the last post on Deadspin (as we know it) ever...I’m happy it’s Tom talking about some dogs. 

After years of reading this site, I made an account to post a comment that this is a good article and I enjoy seeing ads for this kind of content from my favorite sports news only website

In all seriousness Deadspin has been my most visited site since the Manti Te’o story back in the day. Too many great writers and stories and I’ll miss all of it, but I think today is the day I need to stop supporting G/O Media. They’ve successfully ruined the best thing on the internet. When G/O inevitably dumps…

Seeing as how this is likely the death knell of Deadspin, I’d like to wish Tom, Barry, and everyone else good fortune in their future endeavors. The vast majority of you are great writers and you deserve to keep doing it. Fuck G-O Media, fuck vulture capitalists, and extra double-fuck Jim Spanfeller. RIP
